After a long day of grad-school interviewing, I needed some comfortable Italian food, and Portofino's provided. The bread was always warm and really good. I loved the house sun-dried tomato basil salad dressing--it was so delicious, it almost tasted like a stand alone pasta sauce. I got penne pasta with their primavera sauce and it was so freaking good. Creamy, cheesy, perfect medley of flavors. The boyfriend got a cheesy red sauce concoction and really enjoyed it. We both had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day--win! Our server was AWESOME (wish I remembered her name, she deserves a shout-out). The pours of house wine were generous. I was super pleased with everything about this place, and would enjoy bringing guests of any kind back.
